   Thank you for your detailed response.   
      
   My query stemmed from my 'belief' that you were working with just the   
   phone and the old and new SD Cards. Only one SD plugged in at a time so   
   how did you get data from one to the other ..... unless you removed the   
   "Phone System" SD (losing the phone function, maybe), plugged in the   
   "new" SD then did the tranfer from "old" SD content to "new" SD then   
   reorganised things so you could plug in the "Phone System" SD again.
